I mainly only use butter to fry some eggs but I use way too much olive oil for everything else like chicken, vegetables, etc.
Does any decent lower cal alternative exist?

It’ll cost you some money up front and a little patience and practice.
Get yourself a quality stainless steel double bottom (or even better triple bottom) pan.
You’ll see why in a second a nice thick bottom pan works with this, a cheaper thin pan won’t cut it.
Heat up your clean pan, then take some water and proceed to do the “mercury ball” test with some water. Here’s where it gets interesting and you’ve likely noticed this before but never realized you can do this to cook with almost no oil or grease.
Your pan has to be able to retain heat, thicker bottom pans can do this once they’re up to temp they’ll maintain.
Once heated drop water in the pan, if the ball evaporates it’s not hot enough, if it turns into a bunch of small balls and bounces around it’s too hot. If the water ball glides it’s the right temp. Takes trial and error but once you get the hang of it it’s easy, there’s just a learning curve involved.
This is the best way to use the minimum amount of grease or oil.
Otherwise use an air fryer.Kid Covid

that spray has the same amount of calories as butter with trans fats. They just make the serving size so small that they don’t have to put it on the label and it doesn’t help it from sticking
Op buy an airfryer
For eggs hard boil them
Also good non stick pans go a long wayLast edited by snailsrus; 04-19-2021 at 09:56 PM.

^ This. In the UK there is a pan called "Never Stick" made by Schoville. I cook all my eggs and meat in them with no oil, sometimes just a little water or lemon juice for lubrication. They're guaranteed for life but in reality I've found them to last a year or two before they start sticking, but what you save on oil and butter you can spend on a new pan.
